My Unesh Deck. Trying to make it as high power as I can. It’ll never really hit the cEDH tier but if it can compete then it’s fine.

The gameplan:

• Massively pull ahead in card advantage with Unesh; Win via Thassa's Oracle or good ole fashioned beatdown

Fun Syngergies:

• Conspiracy Unraveler - Basically wins the game on resolution. Sphinxes have high cmcs, and Unesh fills the graveyard, so you'll be casting sphinxes to get cards to hand and cards to free cast them
• Scholar of the Lost Trove - Free cast copy spells out of your graveyard to make copies of scholar of the lost trove. Get Unesh Triggers and extra 5/5 flying bodies until all your copy spells are gone, then get a free gilded lotus or something.
• Ghostly Flicker - Reset your mana vault. Untap your nykthos. Get two Unesh triggers. Protect Unesh or another piece. Any combination of the prior.
• Spark Double/ Irenicus's Vile Duplication - You like having sphinxes cost {2} less and getting a fact or fiction for each one? Why not make them cost {4} less and get two factor fiction for each one! Could also use on defiler of dreams to cheapen the {U} cost of your sphinxes, inch them closer to being free.
• Rite of Replication - Copy any creature. Good stuff. Copy Unesh 5 times? Win the game on the spot.
• Temporal Trespass - As close to a time walk as you can get in this deck

I'm looking for potential cards in the list to take out for some of the maybeboard cards. I eventually want to get fast mana, but other good suggestions are welcome.
